Hi, Jann! Thanks for sharing your positive "Bee Attitudes!" You really expressed how I feel now that I am the same age as you are. Why is the face behind my eyes so much cuter and younger than the one in the mirror. It's sometimes a bit of a rude awakening...lol! But I loved this fun positive post...I'll bet you are as fun as your blog! =D

Jann, You and I would be great friends...we think alike. I try my best to stay up-beat. Yes I worry, yes I have woes...But I pray and then give my burden to the Lord...just as He wants us to do. Stay happy girl. xoxo,Susie

I have some bee skeps, but have always used them outside - might have to bring them in for a change! I was so sad to have missed Flea-ology since I was out of town over the weekend - hope I can make it to the next sale. Have fun in St. George - the weather should be nice and warm there!

Your bee skep looks so great with your adorable Dollar Store dishes and other cute table things. I used to have a large bee skep that I kept out in my flower bed. It was so pretty amongst the flowers and even in winter when snow decorated it. I was glad though that no bees ever started living in it. I wish now that I would have brought it in during winter, because it finally got too tattered to keep. I priced the large ones last year and they were pretty expensive (for me).

Sometimes it catches me by surprise to be thinking of doing something and then realize that I, too, am pushing 60. In my mind I feel as young as I ever did. But when it comes to my body, especially my knees, it feels like instead of me pushing 60, 59 is pushing (stomping on) me. Even so, it is better than the alternative.

This is my first time here. Coming from NanaDiana's. I believe I will be following since I love upbeat ladies. :) I love the pattern on those dishes. I have found a few really good deals at the Dollar Store on things my daughter still doesn't believe could come from there. lol I believe Si's tea is unsweet. ;) We don't watch "tv" around here but borrow our daughters Duck Dynasty dvd's and enjoy watching them together. It's nice to have something to watch that the grandkids can watch with us. They love it as well. Have a great day and I'll be back to visit.

Love these things that make you happy. You're totally right - life is too short to not choose happiness. And Duck Dynasty... oh man. That show gives me some good laughs. There's nothing better than a good laugh.

Jann, What a great post! I really enjoyed it and your "bee" items are just terrific! Love your new look, kinda gasped when I first clicked on and saw your new heading, I love it, it's wonderful! Kudos to your daughter. :) Pam

Love the new heading Jann! What a sweet daughter. Love the bee skep, and burlap container. I can't believe you got those cute plates at the dollar store!

It's so funny that you should mention Duck Dynasty. Our church just did a Duck Dynasty Sunday. Everyone dressed in camo, the church was decorated with real pines, branches, duck decoys and ponds (camoflaughed pools). The theme was Happy, Happy, Happy! The message was about how true happiness is not an emotion. Only a relationship with Jesus brings true happiness.

Jann, this is a beautiful post. I love your new header! What a great daughter and mother's day gift. Your table vignette is really sweet and I love the black and white with the pops of yellow. The little stitchery is sweet. I hope you have a great day. Hugs, Pam

Love the new header! Looks like having a happy mom makes for a talented and loving daughter! Every thing on your 'happy' table is wonderful. I was taking a close look at the dishes (because you know I love black and white) and couldn't believe they are from the $ store!

What a delightful post! I love all things bee- and last year I got bright yellow kayak- so of course I painted a giant bee on it and "christened" it "Bee Happy"-as a reminder to paddle through life with a positive attitude- Thanks for sharing some sunshine (and a lovely table)

Hello, Jann! Your post is lovely with all the bee items, right down to the little candle under the cloche dome. Your bee skep is a wonderful keepsake from Williamsburg. We visited there only once. It was a good trip, however, it was in July during the hottest span of days I can ever remember. We hope to go back during the fall one year. We ate at a couple of places in within the colonial area. One of them was Christiana Campbells. I purchased a decorative plate and also a picture of Christiana Campbells establishment and continue to enjoy both. Thanks for sharing your pictures and your positive attitude and thoughts!

Jann, I agree with your philosophy one hundred per cent. Life is just too short to spend it being sad! Your post today is so cute and I love the positive attitude that one can feel here. Love the bee hive! Thanks for sharing at my HOME and have a great weekend.

Mmmm...your lime drink sounds so refreshing! :) I love this HAPPY encouraging post. Hope you have a lovely weekend! Visiting you from Sandi's HOME party. I've posted the new Homemaking Party for the week and would love to have you link up, if you'd like!
